I’m an avid rider (occasionally novice racer) of single track/XC, no big drops. I’m 5’11”, 175lbs. Want dual suspension. Pricing around $1K which means I’m gonna have to suck it up on the weight. Looking at:
Trek Fuel EX5 Jamis Dakar XC Kinley FX Comp Woodstock 707 Any advice or recommendations on these bikes or others would be greatly appreciated. I know you’re all probably tired of people asking what bike do I buy …and believe me, I’m tired of looking but it’s time for a new bike and the choices are overwhelming. Would love to support LBS but a little unbiased advice will help make informed decision. Thanks in advance. John |

sorry, best to pick what works for you. We have 4 riders in the family riding the same trails...but we each have very different bikes. Fit comes first, then the suitability to your riding style. Good luck with the search |

This is the time of year to check shops for '07 closeouts. The better shops around here have bikes 20%-30% off retail.
End of season is also a good time to shop for used bikes, but you really have to do your home work and know how to inspect a bike. |
